Few people would say they like conflict. Most of us try like heck to avoid it. If we take up meditation practice,
we often expect that to make conflict go away. But...surprise! It never does. We still disagree with each other,
argue, get hurt, say things we didn't mean to say. It's at the very least inconvenient. It's often also destructive.
